If you’re saying it divides people you’re flat out stupid as dirt. It’s highlighting a problem that has been going on for YEARS. I don’t mean 5 or 6 but 200+ years. “This seems to divide and not unite” HOW THE HELL WE SUPPOSED TO UNITE IF WE (AFRICAN AMERICANS) are getting killed because they don’t like the color of our skin, we’re just about equally talented if not MORE, we can do about 100% everything a white man can do that’s the real reason they hate on AFRICAN AMERICANS.

Whether you like this as a movie or not, I feel that the contrasting division in the reviews it has recieved alone is a poignent indication of the long standing problem it seeks to highlight. In the UK this past week, we have seen how a young white male is publically lauded for simply reciting someone else's lyrics at Glastonbury, the same lyrics for which the black artist who actually had the talent to write them is condemned and chastised.

Very good movie from start to finish and you end up really being invested in the characters and the outcomes . The main girl in this does a great job playing the role and looking forward to see more of her. This movie really pulls at your emotions one of my favourite small films of the year so far
